Summary/Abstract: Mankind needs communication and social life to function normally, which is almost completely impossible in today’s pandemic. We recognize technology as a medium that primarily improves the way traditional media (e.g., television) function. We live in an age of simulation and simulacrum, where truth becomes subjective and universal laws no longer stand. Considered that popular culture is the area in which the current social characteristics are most strongly read, the so-called structure of feelings in society, an overview of television programs (HTV 1, HTV 2, Nova TV and RTL) during the first lockdown in Croatia (20th March to 11th May 2020) will be given. Moreover, the ratings of popular television genres will be analyzed and show the results of the conducted survey. The aim of this paper is to research the television space in Croatia in a certain period, which is greately determined by the global Covid-19 virus pandemic.
